Day 219 - beautiful sunny mild day

Drive-up - Saturday.

This is the view of the garage from the driveway, taken about 24 hours after yesterday's photo. The main part of the garage roof you can see from this angle is completed.

As you can see, there is no hydro meter installed yet.

This is the view of the back of the garage roof. It has been started.

When I was taking the pictures, the owner of the roofing company drove up. He said this roof was "complicated" and would take "5 days of good weather" to complete. But yesterday, the roofers said it would go "quickly"! These two statements seem to be in conflict, in my opinion!

By my calculations, the roofers applied 18 bundles of shingles today, or just over 600 square feet. At that rate I figure it will take another 10-11 days! Yikes! It is perplexing why, for a fixed price job, people don't want to get the job done as quickly as possible.

Getting the roof done is the most critical part of the project, as it must be completed before we can get more money from the bank. So naturally, we are both eager and anxious for this to be finished.
